A Vancouver woman is asking for the courts to make an example of her neighbour, a practising lawyer she alleges has filed a baseless pseudolegal lawsuit against her in an attempt to “provoke a state of fear.”

"That i possess a licence to practice law in the legal jurisdiction of the province of British Columbia does not make i into a lawyer, the same way that having a driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle does not make i into a driver," Arbabi said.

Uhhh, whut.

My question is how did this person ever become a lawyer???

I think that's an awkward (and sovcit) way of saying that even though she is a lawyer, she isn't acting as a lawyer in this instance

Imagine having to deal with this crap. How does the "lawsuit" make it far enough for the defendant to be served? Or is that something that happens without any actual review by the courts?

Yeah I can read between the lines but don’t see any point to it all. I don’t even know how the courts processed any of it given the language alone.

Lovely the legal system can afford to appeal to nut jobs 🫠

Any unhinged literate person can, you just have to get a few technical questions right; then you can go on to exercise the opposite of what you answered to get that grade
